Libra Sun Sign

Libra

Around 24 September – around 23 October

Symbol: The Scales Quality: Cardinal Element: Air Ruler: Venus

Libra represents the period of the autumn equinox (spring in the Southern Hemisphere), another important transitional moment in the year. Once more, the days and nights are of the same length. Unlike Aries – when the forces of daylight are growing stronger – during Libra, night is beginning to dominate once more. As with Virgo, this reflects itself in the needs of the collective whole taking precedence over the individual. Indeed it is the opposite of Aries – the sign of the self – and is associated with partnerships and marriage in particular. This period is therefore all about balance, hence the symbolism of Libra, the scales, constantly weighing up situations.

In general, Libra brings out the least self-centred aspects of the planets. For instance, Mars’s energy can be turned to fighting for equality, while Mercury’s flair for communication can be used for diplomatic purposes.
